September 1934 (Des Moines Register)
"Claims 'Will-o'-Wisp' Program Leads to Political Tyranny."
"Condemning policies of the Roosevelt administration, which he inferentially labels 'will-o'-the-wisp,' Herbert Hoover in the current issue of the Saturday Evening Post declares the American people are faced with 'the issue of human liberty.'"
"The former president, in his first discussion of political questions since he left the White House, decries 'economic regimentation,' saying: 'The whole thesis behind this program is the very theory that man is but a pawn of the state. It is a usurpation of primary liberties of man by government. It i a vast shift from the American concept of human right, which even the government may not infringe, to those social philosophies where men are wholly subjective to the state. It is a vast casualty to liberty if it shall be continued.'"
Hoover: "The rise of our race under it marks the high tide of a thousand year of human struggle. Under it our country has grown to greatness and has led the world in the emancipation of men. When these boundaries of liberty are overstepped, America will cease to be American. Our system has at all time had to contend with internal encroachments upon liberty. Greed in economic agencies invades it from the right, and greed for power in bureaucracy and government infringe it from the left."
